My Favorite Time Is?

[guidofatherof5]

I thought a thread telling about our favorite time with our snakes may be interesting.

My favorite time would have to be baby/young snake feeding time.
Watching all the different personalities and eating styles develop. Having them come to me, wanting to be hand fed. Being used as a napkin after a piece of food was eaten.
To come and rest on my arm after a good meal and their belly is full.
Then to look in on them later and to see sleeping full snakes.

I too enjoy feeding babies, but I must confess I also like the break when they get bigger and the feeding frequency reduces.

I agree with both of you, feeding my babies is a nice time for me, but I also love "cuddle time" with my snakes. It's usually with Mama or Snakey. Mama is usually the one getting the cuddles, though, since she'll actually sit there and hang out where as Snakey goes for the blanket exploring.

I love watching Abby prowl around her enclosure, but I think my favorite time is when shes out being handled, and she finds a comfortable spot inside my sleeve or in my lap to just chill out and relax.

I have to say baby feeding time isn't my favorite time. What a chore.

The idea behind the thread was for you to submit your favorite time not the opposite.
So, your favorite time is?????

How can feeding time be a chore? I have no experience of caring for more than 4 babies but I cant wait to feed them. The day after I feed them I start getting excited for the next day. And of course, the babies cant wait either. I love seeing Snap get all fierce with her worm pieces

Umm... Well today comes to mind. For once ALL the snakes ate until they're well stuffed. Usually some eat one day, then a day or two later others eat.

But earlier today, all the adults and all the babies ate very well on tilapia and pinkies.

Then the few hours after that, they all look so satisfied and are all lounging under the basking lamps. That's the moment I like. They look so satisfied and content and I have piece of mind that they are taken care of.

I wish Ember and Snap were content with what I give them. I probably overfeed them a bit because hey act like they've never eaten in their whole lives and of course it makes me feel bad when I go to feed Mama and Snakey the leftovers... They never ever look satisfied. Even after eating over 6 pieces of worm the size of their head they act like they cant stop eating or they'll die. Little gluttons.

Stay strong. They will play that "I'm starving" card every day.
